Hey do we get a home++ program?

Does Droid Eris have any sweet programs that allow users to mess around with some settings - im really like the expose feature used in Home++ - Sounds Mac-esk

I mean i loveee how i can change my phone with scenes to make it feel like a completely different phone..but more variety never hurt anybody.
 
not sure what the expose feature is, but there are home screen replacement apps for eris i think, search through androlib (something like that, google it)

i see on a search on my eris for "home screen"

dxtop
open home
projectx
ahome - i hear is popular
and a few others

i can't recommend any as i don't use them, if you do decide to try one let us know what you think.

ok just cause i figured why not i tested 2 apps here

panda home - pretty neat, fast, clean, nice features like docks and customizations. big drawback is it takes you down to 3 screens

dxtop - nice app, pretty fast, 2 bottom tabs, one for all programs, one for running processes with a long press kill feature. pretty cool, 4 screens top bottom left right was kinda neat. also when you locked the phone, one press on the unlock (call end) you were presented with a iphone type, functional, unlock swipe screen....pretty neat.

dxtop did give me a force close but continued to work (this was the demo version i am using)

Panda home takes you down to 3 screens by default, but allows you to change to up to 13 screens i believe is the number, i know you can do at least 9, but when i was using it I only used 5.

I just find that the Sense UI tends to be better than any of the home apps.
